Just before I went on holiday last month, I had a box of Stampin' Up supplies arrive. Today, I've enjoyed having a play around with one of those items - the A Big Thank You bundle. It has a set of stamps and a beautiful, big die cut 'Thank You'.
There's nothing like a challenge to help you focus playing around with things, so inspiration for this card came from two sources: a sketch at Just Add Ink and a bright colour combination at Inkspire Me.
It's a simple card, with a three lines of stamping and the stacked die cut over the top. Stamp-a-ratus makes this kind of stamping so much easier than it used to be!
In this photo, you can see the ombre effect of a line of Pool Party topped with a line of Coastal Cabana. The Merry Merlot words have a slightly offset layer of Pool Party on the bottom to give a shadowing effect.

Your borders work wonderfully to ground your sentiment but also add lots of lovely detail and colour Jan. Love the two tones in the second border! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
ReplyDeleteI love how you’ve used the triangle image to create a diamond stripe, Jan! So clever and adds lovely details too. Your two toned sentiment is striking and a fabulous take on the sketch. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.
